Black Pudding Recipe

Liam Walsh

When my grandad was younger, his mom used to make black pudding for him and his family.

Ingredients

You need

• 4 cups of fresh pig’s blood
• 2½ teaspoons of salt
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 1½ teaspoons of pepper
• 1 teaspoon of all spice

Method

1. Add the oatmeal to boiling water and set aside to soften.
2. Sieve the blood into a large bowl to remove any clots.
3. Add the onion, pepper, salt and allspice to the blood. Then, add the softened oats and mix it all together to form a paste.
4. Then pack this mixture into the cleaned small intestine of the pig. Tie both ends.
5. Place the pudding into a pot of boiling water and cook for 30 minutes.
6. When cooked, remove from saucepan and allow to cool.
